That is great that you and your brothers and sisters got together again. It is never easy meeting under these circumstances, and it is very difficult under the best of circumstances dividing up personal objects etc. It puts a huge strain on families, but I know this would have made Stan so happy. It will all get sorted out, as it always does, and the family will reorganize a bit to accomodate changes. It is so good to see cousins and aunts and uncles here too, as well as so many people who thought so highly of him.

I presume there is still a big gathering yet to come, like a musical commemoration..I am hoping to make it but probably can't get away.

I hope that the web sites are getting set up with links to his songs, stories etc. Don't forget that there are people who have offered to store memorabilia for a while and copy it if that would help, realizing of course if belongs to the family.

Things have gotten quiet because of the holidays...everyone have a great Christmas or happy holiday. I hope someone in Stan's family puts together a potluck or something so you can meet over the holidays and toast each other and the new relationships that are forming and renewing the old ones... mg
